The protocol proved feasible and acceptable, eliciting within-session anxiety and providing benchmarks in existing clinical literature. Contamination symptom change at 1-month follow-up was not statistically significant, and the effect size estimate was sensitive to the missingness assumption, underscoring the need for adequately powered multisession designs in future trials. The usability profile and VR sickness levels that did not prevent session completion suggest self-administered or minimally supervised delivery warrants evaluation, with implications for scalable early intervention in individuals with elevated contamination concerns who have not accessed formal treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/78169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,23]],"date-time":"2026-06-23T21:31:47Z","timestamp":1782250307000},"page":"e78169-e78169","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Virtual Reality\u2013Delivered Exposure for Contamination Concerns in Adults With Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms: Single-Arm Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5426-9011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Caltabiano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2399-5656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aniruddha","family":"Voruganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5869-6360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Nesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5353-5645","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgina","family":"Krebs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8816-1463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taylor","family":"Burke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5701-9659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martina","family":"Di Simplicio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3504-9037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nejra","family":"van Zalk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,23]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"743","DOI":"10.1016\/S0193-953X(18)30205-3","article-title":"The epidemiology and clinical features of obsessive compulsive disorder","volume":"15","author":"Rasmussen","journal-title":"Psychiatr Clin North Am"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comppsych.2023.152422","article-title":"A cost-of-illness analysis of the economic burden of obsessive-compulsive disorder in the United Kingdom","volume":"127","author":"Kochar","journal-title":"Compr Psychiatry"},{"issue":"apr07 6","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.g2183","article-title":"Obsessive-compulsive disorder","volume":"348","author":"Veale","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"issue":"3","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1002\/mpr.1359","article-title":"Twelve-month and lifetime prevalence and lifetime morbid risk of anxiety and mood disorders in the United States","volume":"21","author":"Kessler","journal-title":"Int J Methods Psychiatr Res"},{"issue":"8","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1295","DOI":"10.1586\/ern.10.46","article-title":"Disgust in contamination-based obsessive-compulsive disorder: a review and model","volume":"10","author":"Brady","journal-title":"Expert Rev Neurother"},{"key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rachman S .
